The spttit st the Mountains.

These peaks are the toys of your
sense of greatness and majesty. They
make you keep company with their
silent life. They hush the tumult with.
in you. and awe the soul into alteration.
They keep before you two things the
limitation Of your nature and the great.
ness of your life. They change with
the hues Of the sky, and yet they
stand like sentinels at the gate
way of the world. They seize
upon what is transient, and they sug-
gest what is eternal. You are in their
power. as you are in the hands Of q
stronger person. They do not let 60
their hold upon one who is sensitive to
the outer world, aud it is the Watching
of these peaks until one has lost his
grasp of the things of familiar sense that
constitutes their wonderful charm.
] have seen q timid, shrinking woman,
under the cover Of the upheaved rocks,
expand into bold and strong talker as
she caught the spirit OF the mountains
and forgot her usual self. Language
came to her that she could not have used
had she not entered into the modes oi
the mountain and had mirrored in hel
own soul their response to her nature. -

Animals which Love Music.

Sir John Hawkins, in his History of
Music, quotes an author who speaks of
lion he had seen in London, who
would forsake his food to listen to o
tame. Bears. too have from the earliest
times been taught to dance to the sound
Of music.
The educated herse of the circus owes
great deal to tho influence of music;
he trots. gallops, advances, retires. and
even dances to the lively strains of the
orchestra. He can also be taught to per-
form music on his own account, and to
beat kettle.drum with his fore feet.
Monkeys have keen ear for rythm,
and have been taught to dance to music
on the tight.rope. Beurdilet speaks of
monkey, whom all Paris at one time
went to see, who, dressed as woman,
danced a minuet in cadence with his
master.
When cows are sulky, milkmaids in
the Highlands of Scotland often sing to
them to restore them to good humor. In
France the oxen that work in the fields
are regularly sung to. as an encourage
ment to exertion, aud no peasant has
the slightest doubt that the animals lis.
ten to hiri with pleasure.
The cheering influence of music is
seen in the case of camels. During the
long and painful marches the conductors
Of a caravan often comfort their camels
by playing on instruments. The music
has such an effect that however fatigued
they may be by their heavy loads, the
animals step out with renewed vigor.
Elephants have good ears. and may be
trained as musical performers. Quite
recently small elephant, with a sur.
prising amount Of cultivated intelligence,
was exhibited in London. Among many
feats it played whole band of music
at once; there were bells on its head,
and it ueed its trunk and forefeet tc
play other Instruments.
